Old Woodcut Depicting Tunisian Lady

A late 19th century woodcut showing a Tunisian lady wearing her jewels. Note that she is wearing a piece on her head, as well as necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. Her jewelry appears to be very European in style.

Thanks Edith! Nice picture. A Jewish lady. They are often been seen with pants and this typical conical head. Nice (embroidered?) shoes! And a fan?
